Sorry, skiers: Winter Park prohibits parking on U.S. Highway 40

Due to a number of "close calls" between cars and pedestrians, the town of Winter Park has decided to prohibit parking on the shoulder of eastbound U.S. Highway 40 between Old Town Drive and Winter Park Drive.

"No Parking" signs are being installed to inform motorists, and violators will be ticketed or towed. The town is encouraging visitors to utilize free parking options near the resort or in downtown Winter Park, both are served by shuttles and the Lift.
